context_page_description: "On a Night Like This" is a song recorded by Australian recording artist Kylie Minogue. It was released on 11 September 2000 by Parlophone as the second single for her seventh studio album, Light Years, and distributed in various formats. The track was originally written for Swedish singer Pandora by Steve Torch, Brian Rawling, Graham Stack, and Mark Taylor, while production was handled by the latter two, it was handed to Minogue to record. Musically, "On a Night Like This" is a dance-pop song that also incorporates elements of disco. Its lyrical content delves on experiencing unique, possibly sexual experiences during the night.
  Upon its release, "On a Night Like This" generally received favourable reviews from music critics. Some of them complimented the production and its dance sound, whilst some noted that it didn't stand out among other tracks from Light Years. Commercially, in Australia and the United Kingdom, the song peaked at number one and number two, respectively. Elsewhere, reached the top 40 in countries such as Sweden, Ireland, Finland, and New Zealand.
context_section_description: On 22 September 2000, Minogue performed the recording live for the first time on Top of the Pops, wearing the same pink and beige dress from the music video. At the 2000 Sydney Olympics closing ceremony, Minogue performed ABBA's "Dancing Queen" and "On a Night Like This". In November 2012, the singer performed the song as part of the Royal Variety Performance at the Royal Albert Hall. Since its release, "On a Night Like This" has been featured on nearly all of Minogue's concert tours, except the Anti Tour and For You, for Me North American tour. It was one of the headlining songs of the On a Night Like This Tour, which was launched to promote Light Years in 2001. Minogue had been lowered from an anchor up until performing the song. The single was additionally performed during the "Sex in Venice" act of the KylieFever2002 tour, and in 2005 on her Showgirl: The Greatest Hits Tour. Minogue was unable to complete the tour as she was diagnosed with early breast cancer and had to cancel the Australian leg of the tour.
  After undergoing treatment and recovery, she resumed the concert tour in the form of Showgirl: The Homecoming Tour in 2007, and performed "On a Night Like This" on the "Homecoming" segment. The song was performed as part of the "Black Versus White" act of the KylieX2008 tour. Minogue performed "On a Night Like This" during her Aphrodite: Les Folies Tour in 2011, which contained elements of DJ Sammy's single "Heaven". In December 2012, she performed the song on the Nobel Peace Prize Concert. "On a Night Like This" was also included on 2014's Kiss Me Once Tour, where it was performed "amid a kaleidoscope of lasers". It was also performed on Minogue's 2015 Summer Tour, which featured her in a glittery black and white dress. For 2018's Golden Tour, "On a Night Like This" was performed in a medley with unreleased track "New York City" and "Raining Glitter", a song from her fourteenth studio album Golden; it was performed in a Studio 54 setting and found Minogue, dressed in a sparkly golden dress, surrounded by dancers. Minogue promoted the song by appearing in a Pepsi commercial, having the track as background music; it was included on the official soundtrack for 2001, and was singled out by the AllMusic staff as one of the best tracks. It has appeared on four of Minogue's greatest hits compilation albums: Ultimate Kylie (2004), Hits (2011), The Best of Kylie Minogue (2012) and most recently on Step Back in Time: The Definitive Collection (2019). It has appeared on one of Minogue's remix albums, this being Boombox (2008), which was remixed by Italian DJs Bini & Martini.
